This Tech Tools miniseries is brought to you by Prezi, the presentation tool that makes your ideas easy to follow, hard to forget, and faster than ever to create with Prezi AI.

The best investment is in the tools of one's own trade.

At Think Fast Talk Smart, we're taking this quote by Benjamin Franklin, the famous U .S inventor and founding father, very seriously.

As you know, our show strives to share tips and techniques to help you hone and improve your communication and careers.

These practices and approaches can be augmented with tools and technology.

I'm Matt Abrahams.

I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Welcome to this Tech Tools miniseries of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast.

In this multi -part miniseries, we'll introduce you to tools we use at Think Fast, Talk Smart to help us be better at our spoken and written communication.

And you'll learn best practices from the founders who created them.

Taken together, we hope these communication tools will help you find new ways to think fast and talk smart.

I am super excited today to speak with Yuki Yamashita, who is Figma's chief product officer.

Yuki, welcome.

Thanks for joining me.

Thank you for having me.

Some of our listeners might not know what Figma is.

Can you share what your product is using the elevator pitch structure I teach my students?

What if you could?

So that, for example, and that's not all.

Do you want to give that a try?

So what if you could visualize any idea you have in your head

and immediately collaborate on it in real time with others so that you and your team, if you have one, can make digital experiences like apps and websites together end -to -end?

For example, you can brainstorm an idea on a digital whiteboard, bring it into a design infinite canvas,

present that vision in a deck and actually get it built end -to -end.

And that's not all.

People have found other creative ways to use Figma, like stirring a visual resume or planning a trip or wedding, or even arranging an apartment floor plane.

That was a great use of that structure.

You get an A+.

I'm curious, Yuki, what led you to join Figma?

There's the practical reason and kind of the philosophical reason.

So the practical reason was I was working at Uber before my time at Figma.

I happened to be on a team that experimentally brought Figma into the company.

And this is a time

when we were trying to de -silo all the product work that's going on

and get the rest of the company knowing what's happening inside of the product world.

So it was a perfect fit for that.

They got to see firsthand how it spread virally, got everyone involved, but maybe even more importantly, it embodied a philosophy that I always had around design,

which is that design shouldn't be just designer's consideration.

I was a product manager for most of my career

and oftentimes had to dig through Dropbox files to find that right PNG.

And then if I wanted to edit it, I needed to gain access to some other application or just, you know, go to Photoshop and make some edits.

Figma took the point of view that I had, which is that over time, these boundaries between functions that should be blurred or artificial,

design is something that everyone should be participating in.

I saw Figma champion that worldview early on, and I was really excited by it.

Great.

So it was a practical experience that lined up with your philosophical approach that led you to join.

You and Figma have thought a lot about visualizing and communicating ideas.

What are some of the best practices you've identified for visualization and communicating effectively?

I think the first thing that comes to mind is the idea

that people usually have only a couple takeaways that they can bring home or bring to other people.

For example, if it's a pitch deck, there's that one slide that people remember or

that one framework to describe what your product is about or maybe what problem you're solving.

And so I spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to distill

that discussion or the thesis into something visual that people can remember.

And sometimes I describe it almost as a meme, you know, like people have such short attention spans.

They're often multitasking when they're consuming information.

So there's just this one meme that they can take away.

And maybe that's a really well articulated insight.

Maybe it's a very provocative problem.

Maybe it's a visual that you want to keep using over and over again.

But those are the things that I think about most when I think about storytelling and visual storytelling.

It almost sounds like there's an emotional connection to the image.

Is that something you think a lot about as you think about leveraging images to help people focus and remember?

I think so.

Because oftentimes, for example, I remember maybe when I was back at Uber, I was responsible for the Rider app.

And the Rider app had a lot of issues.

When you're getting into a car, there's all things that can go wrong.

And it's very easy for people to just bring up the thousands of different issues

that they want my team to fix, for example.

But if you can distill it down to actually...

There are four stages to a pickup.

You need to do this and then that.

Then all of a sudden, you've given everyone a vocabulary, right?

And then that is the very same visual framework that people might use in their own teams to slot in, oh, here are my problems and goals.

And all of a sudden, you've kind of discretized this ambiguous space into something.

It's really just language.

And it just happens to be that we've given it something visual or given it words that are memorable.

Often people call it a framework, but that's really essentially what it is.

I'm a huge fan of frameworks when it comes to communication.

I think it really helps.

In fact, you leverage the pitch framework that I like to teach.

But I like this idea of distilling processes down into their core components

and then thinking about what's the best way to visually represent this information.

In essence, what you said is it gives you a different vocabulary beyond just words.

It gives you a visual vocabulary, and I like that a lot.

Now we're going to take a quick break.

Thanks for supporting the partners who help us share smart communication with the world.

Here's a quick message.

The hardest part of presenting isn't knowing what to say.

It's keeping people with you so they leave convinced.

That's why I've been a longtime Prezi user and love it.

It's my favorite tool for giving memorable talks, and it can help you do the same.

Before we end, I'd like to ask you the same two questions that I'm asking everyone who's part of this miniseries.

Who is a communicator that you admire and why?

100

One communicator who comes to mind is actually my first professor of computer science.

101

His name is David Millen.

102

He runs his introductory to computer science course that's also available online for anyone to take.

103

And I admire him for two reasons.

104

One is he never says, um, it's always just so fluid, even while navigating some of the most complex topics.

105

And it comes from a lot of practice, but it's just really impressive.

106

And the second is really able to make the most complicated things relatable

107

and is actually managed to make computer science theatrical almost.

108

It's really fun to watch and inspiring, especially from the perspective of a student who, based on that, may or may not pick up the skill.

109

One, I love that you picked a professor.

110

I think our profession can use all the help we can get.

111

I appreciate that anybody can now go check out that course.

112

When you said that one thing that stood out to you is that he made things relatable and engaging, were there particular techniques he used?

113

You said theatrical.

114

What does that mean?

115

I'm just curious.

116

I'm always interested in how does somebody take something which is rather complex, like coding, and make it engaging and accessible?

117

For example, he was teaching the idea of binary search.

118

He would pick up a dictionary and say, hey, let's talk about linear versus binary search.

119

Linear search means that you're going, and maybe it was a phone directory, and I could tell you, hey, go find John Smith, but start from the beginning and just flip through every page.

120

That's linear search.

121

Conversely, I could tell you to do binary search, and he took a directory, he ripped it in half, looked at the name, discarded half, kept ripping in half, and he could get to John Smith much faster.

122

And that's such a visual and evocative way to understand what binary search is really about.

123

Yeah.

124

So he showed you, used an analogy.

125

I love that.

126

That's great.

127

He must've been very strong to be ripping phone books in half.

128

All right.

129

Question number two, beyond your tool, what is one communication hack tool or shortcut that you use to help yourself be more effective?

130

I think it's going to come back to the idea of forming a meme.

131

It sounds like a very trivializing thing to do, but I've just kind of realized that even as leaders in a company, you find that people start repeating things,

132

phrases that they've heard, that they've picked up that make them maybe sound smart or is a little bit counterintuitive or evocative, and therefore you want to spread it more.

133

I mentioned spending a disproportionate amount of time honing in on what is a way to express this insight

134

that makes people want to repeat it?

135

Or what is the way to visualize it so that they would want to reuse it over and over again?

136

I really spend 80 % of the time kind of coming it down to like, what is that one thing that's going to spread virally?

137

I think that's actually really cool. To me, memifying something based on what you've said is really about finding what is most relevant

138

and what is most likely to be reused.

139

And if you use those two ideas, relevance and reuse as a guide, it can really help you focus.

140

Yuki, this has been really insightful.

141

I really appreciate not just you sharing what your tool does, which is very helpful for collaboration and visualization,

142

but also your approach and the way you think about these challenges

143

and how people can be more creative and make better decision -making.

144
